Crescent_Moon

a cold breeze cuts through my skin
like an ice-cold blade penetrating my heart
and spreading a chill down my spine
I bring my arms around my chest
trying to hold in the warmth
I hold my breath

eyes too dry to cry
throat too sore to scream
lips too chapped to speak
mind too sad to dream

my emotions have drained away
in a raging flood of angry tears
leaving me here to suffer
an empty shell of a person

light
streaming through my window
blinding me
i am too lazy to move
and so i sit here
typing this poem
as my pupils shrink
into pinpoints
barely visible
trying to contain 
the pure brightness of it all
